Before I begin today, just wanted to extend a Happy Easter yesterday for anyone celebrating with family or friends. I hope it was enjoyable however you celebrated and now today is Earth Day! Go out in nature and appreciate all we have been given… This post is about Reiki and all the healing benefits if you come to believe. I had this done briefly once during the end of a yoga class and it felt amazing being surrounded with others in a peaceful setting. You can get certified with this type of energy transition. The word Reiki is comprised of two words in Japanese~~~ Rei meaning “God’s wisdom or the Higher Power” and Ki meaning “life force energy.” It involves bringing harmony, balance, love, and healing to others. Everything has energy and now many practitioners are taking Reiki to hospitals, schools, and lots of other places.

It involves opening and clearing blocks from our Chakras or internal energy centers that I discussed way back. One can lay their hands across different body areas or simply hover over an area for healing. This is also similar to Lomi-Lomi which I have also discussed and you can practice that in a group on each other! First off, you need to become open to the possibility of a Reiki session just like anything new spiritually. Your energy works with the practitioner’s in order to fully activate internally for you. It can help to combat stress, anxiety, illness, disease, bring about more compassion, calmness, and many others benefits. It can also help with chronic ailments and uncover past trauma that is being stored within yourself. Whatever you needs are, your spirit knows how to heal if you allow it.

Recently, I was given a complimentary mini Reiki activation session and found it to be very comforting and freeing. She could sense my spiritual nature and was opening my psychic abilities more. One can be seated (which I was) or lying down on a table (which is Lomi-Lomi.) Some can clear energy starting at your crown down to your feet or the opposite way. Usually there is music playing or candles lit to set the mood of a space and time is given to each area of the body focused on. It can be just smaller areas specifically if you have a concern or just a general sweep of the entire body for healing. Hands can be placed over or on the body as you relax into the process. Some healers will explain the entire details as they go along but some will just explain near the start and then continue in silence. Your eyes will be closed and it helps to breathe naturally as you visualize peace and stillness.

Anyone and everyone can receive Reiki– even your pets! Healers will have the ability to actually SEE or FEEL your energy blockages and proceed with how to heal them best. If you don’t feel differently afterwards, that’s o.k. Some of us are more sensitive to modualities than others and there’s nothing wrong with that. Perhaps later on, you might get a different sense about a thought, decision, or emotion and Reiki would’ve activated that for you. It’s all about faith and trust while knowing you are being guided. Think about what’s going on with your body and if some other methods aren’t working lately. I am not saying to forget traditional medicine but alternatives are worth a try too, don’t ya think? Is there a certain area of your body that seems to bug you A LOT? Does it keep coming back no matter what you try? Think about Reiki even though it might sound weird at first. Do your own research as to what FEELS right for you. Crystals may also be used during a session so how cool is that? You can talk to the healer about your concerns and hopefully they will be addressed. They want you to be comfortable and open to receiving.

The energy flows through the healer’s hands and gets directed as to where it needs to go. The practitioner doesn’t actually “heal” the client as your OWN energy knows intuitively how to do that. Sounds amazing to me! In order to receive maximum benefits, of course repeat sessions would be encouraged but not needed. Most sessions last about an hour kinda like a message only without all the touching. You may feel warmth or tingling without them even touching you. WOW! Some clients fall asleep and that’s fine too. You will receive the same healing benefits once you awaken. There are no side effects and no concentration is required by you as the client. Some healers may also use essential oils to apply near body parts as needed. This is also a wonderful spiritual element to incorporate. If you choose to make this part of your self-care routine, do it! Once a month is all that it takes and really, I need to go again. I am very fortunate to know several healers but understand how challenging it can be to trust someone. Sometimes, we need to go for it anyway just to try something new.

I was very open to Reiki and so glad the healer recommended it to me. It did give me a sense of peace and inner healing as I could feel her energy moving across my body. I know my areas that need it most! Look up information and find some healers nearby. I assure you, it WILL help even if you think it’s silly or strange. Read others experiences and decide for yourself. Your inner spirit will be glad you did!

~~~ Next week, I will be discussing my Cactus Plant and how it came into my life as I was saying good-bye to another….. Plants and their energy, stay tuned spirit friends!!!
